Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups Betterbody Foods Organic Coconut Palm Sugar, plus additional 1/4 cup for rolling
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Frosting :
- 1 pkg cream cheese (8oz), room temperature
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Directions
- 1.Preheat the oven to 375 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- 3.Add egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
- 4.Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate medium bowl.

- 8.To prepare frosting, in a mixing bowl, add softened butter, cream cheese, and cream together until smooth. Add in powdered sugar and cinnamon until incorporated. Frost-cooled cookies if desired.
- 9.Enjoy your Coconut Sugar Cookies!
